GE (Tax Evader) Objects to Hoax Website

It turns out that the mega corporation and willful tax-evader GE is super sensitive to criticism. GE doesn't like to be mocked and so wants the hoax website, genewscenters.com, to be taken down:

It seems GE isn’t laughing about the hoax implemented by the Yes Men and US Uncut. Yesterday, the activist groups posted a fake press release allegedly from GE stating the company intended to donate its entire $3.2 billion tax refund to the US Treasury. The website, genewscenters.com, is a fake website hosted by BlueHost (the real GE-owned website is genewscenter.com). GE immediately demanded the hoax website be taken down, which US Uncut views as an attack on their freedom of speech.
